Black hat practices comes under UNETHICAL search engine practices. The technical background of Black Hat practice is that search engine crawlers are robots. They don’t have brains like human beings hence they can not think beyond a point. Few search engine marketers use this to their advantage, making search engine crawlers to stay more on their website and rank their website higher. This results in higher rank and in turn higher traffic. However search engines in principle advocate to stay away from these practices.
